Varying hydraulic strategies within leaves, stems and roots of coexisting desert shrubs

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3276-3295, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Effective and continuous root‐to‐leaf hydraulic transport is crucial for plant survival and growth during drought. However, the capacity to resist hydraulic dysfunction remains understudied in leaves and roots, especially for desert shrubs.

Climate Change Experienced by Life on Earth—Drivers and Mechanisms of Future Trends in Microclimates

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
Microclimate changes do not necessarily track macroclimate trends. However, changes in meteorological conditions (e.g., cloud cover) and vegetation dynamics (e.g., shrub encroachment) associated with climate change can lead to locally divergent microclimate trends, thereby altering spatial variability.

Cenozoic tropical carbonate platforms in the Santos Basin, SE Brazilian Margin

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2454-2487, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical carbonate platforms accompanied the latitudinal shifts of the tropical belt throughout the Cenozoic. Their flat‐topped geometries were influenced by a specific set of processes, including climate and sea‐level changes, carbonate facies, tectonics and continental runoff.
